The Comrade

A friend you respect
and do anything for
and you reach out your hand
to help with his needs.

But a comrade in battle?
You give to him
your greatest gift and sacrifice,
your life!
And as he lies at your feet,
part of you also dies with him


"To Be Or Not To Be?"

A famous question.
Only god can decide.
Man only thinks,
god steers.


Peace

Peace is such a sacred word,
especially after a war.
